CUSTOMER FEEDBACK ON OPTRIX

Optrix is mandatory for any audiophile looking for the best sound with CD/ SACD's. I'm on my second bottle! - Chuck

I recently received two sets of your smaller cones and two sets of weights as well as bottles of MicroSmooth and Optrix. In reverse order, I have been using Optrix for years to good effect but have to say that the combination literally has transformed my CDs (that have now been double treated, of course!!) to a much more than just listenable level (this from a diehard analog fanatic with more than 5000 records) - probably a bigger difference than going from the CD to SACD track on a dual layer disc.

I already use custom composite carbon fiber cones and pucks as well as Townshend air bases and wasn't expecting much with the brass cones. With only two sets of cones I could only substitute those under my turntable and Audio Note tube CD player and put the weights on the CD player and my (tube) SP-10 pre-amp. All I can say is "WOW" and won't bore you with the *details*! - Ken Ballentine

Optrix reveals some very low level detail after using on a disc treated with MiKro-Smooth. It also sweetens the cymbal sounds and very high upper partials on acoustic guitars, basses and voices. I used it on Jonas HELLBORG'S "Good People In Times of Trouble" and JIMMY BRUNO'S 'Midnight Blue" as well as on my friend and college RYO Kawasaki's solo release on Nylon Acoustic. These CDs have been uplifted to audiophile level by these two treatments alone. Sensational and unexpected value for the investment. - NEY MELLO

I recently bought the Warren Smith CD "Cats are Stealing my S---." Wow. Even over my mid-fi system, the clarity and power of the recording was amazing. Such presence on difficult instruments such as chimes and glockenspiel! I have ordered another four CDs at your generous bargain prices. I'm sure they'll be equally amazing.

And by the way, the Mikro-Smooth and Optrix combo does wonders. I treated my two most scratched and unplayable dics and my fussy CD player sailed past the glitches without a whimper. Thanks. - Anthony Fichera

Optrix is wonderful! It's as though I had been listening to 14-bit CD sound all this time, and once cleaned by Optrix, my collection came alive in its full 16-bit glory! The details which didn't seem buried came through in a full soundstage with new oomph. I had no idea so much more was lurking behind whatever garbage Optrix removed! I'm ordering a bunch right now for gifts to get friends hooked on this cleaner. I double-checked... even on my portable CD player with a cheaper amp the difference was amazing! I'm re-auditioning all my CDs... bit by bit! - Bob Trumble

Lately, I've been recording some exciting acoustic guitar and mandolin sessions that I master to compact disc. I've begun to use Optrix on each Music CD-R before I record. Additionally, I re-apply Optrix after the finalization, before I make a copy for my friends. The sound seems more vibrant and involving using this procedure. Of course, Optrix is a MUST for a pre-recorded Compact Disc or DVD! I don't understand how it works but my ears tell me that it does! - Stanley Richard Stephens

 I just received the CD treatments yesterday and had time to treat only one CD-R MP3 download.  With a short review session, I was impressed by the tightened up resolution overall, especially in the high treble range, what  I considered to be digital HF noise suddenly became resolute music. My speakers are especially sensitive in this area with a ribbon MR-Tweeter and a ribbon super tweeter. A highly recommended treatment. -Richard Allen
